"Truly I tell you, if you
have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from
here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”(Matthew
17:20).
Do you sometimes feel
limited in what you can do in your Christian life? There are times I feel
limited, but this is just a lie. There is no limit to what I can accomplish. I
can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13). If God
has called me to do something, He will supply the strength that I need. He
faithfully empowers those He calls (1 Thessalonians 5:24). I will never give up
because something seems beyond my power to accomplish. In my weakness, I shall
realize His strength and power that moves mountains.
What has the Holy Spirit
called you to do that seems beyond your capability? In your mind, it may be. But
the Lord always sees your potential. There is power in what you consider
weakness in your life. Your weakness is just an area that calls to be
surrendered to Him so that His power and glory may be exemplified in you.
Consider the weakness of what you might think is your small faith. When that
small seed of faith is surrendered to the Lord, you can tell your mountain to
move. Nothing is impossible.
Pansies bring color and
beauty to the coldness of a winter morning. Sometimes, when it is freezing, they
are shriveled and withdrawn, and their beauty is hidden by the cold air pressing
upon them. As warm water is poured upon them, they open to the winter morning
and stand strong and beautiful in the frigid air. I, like a pansy may be weary
and shriveled from circumstances which surround me. But if I surrender to the
warm power of His Spirit, and not to my pressing circumstances, He pours himself
into my life. There is no task that He has called me to do that I can't
accomplish.
I know then that in Him all things are possible.
